Bio

I’m Thanos, a Senior Software Engineer team lead at XM. For the last 3 years I’ve been mostly losing my hair over performance testing and scaling of critical applications. As a developer, I’m really passionate about observability, “measuring all the things”, and pushing for data driven decisions. Of course, I do enjoy the thrill of the occasional late Friday night deploy to prod!

This talk will take you on a journey through the pursuit of performance in AWS serverless services. For those who have embarked on a similar path, you’d agree that it’s rarely a smooth ride. Complexities often arise, especially when navigating the mysteries of AWS (serverless) black boxes.

We’ll dive into XM’s backend architecture, which powers the real-time delivery of hundreds of thousands of financial market data to thousands of clients.
